Extremely clean, well stocked kitchen and a very short walk to the Lionshead base area. Nice unit layout where the living room gets morning sun while the bedroom stays very dark (really helpful for light-sensitive sleepers like myself). Easy access to the car if parked on the main garage level. Washer and dryer are not in-unit but they are in-building and only one floor down. Provided laundry baskets were a nice touch! We would definitely stay here again.

The condo was as advertised, with a great location and quick access to trails, shopping and restaurants. Kitchen was fully stocked, if you chose to cook and offered the comforts of home. The mountain view from the balcony was lovely. The check out process, only required to drop the keys off, so adding a drop box to the North building would be a convenient improvement! The condo size and layout would be perfect for families, with the murphy bed option in the living area, the only reason we did not do 5 stars, is the mattress in the main bedroom is worn. Overall, we would stay again!

Second stay for my husband and I, we stayed nearly two weeks! The property is in a great location, in Lionshead village, walking distance to Vail village, restaurants, hiking, and more! We enjoyed the pool and Jacuzzi, overlooking the beautiful on the Gore River. Condo was in great shape, perfect size for the two of us for an extended stay. Rick is very responsive to questions, and any needs. This condo was perfect for our summer getaway!
